The problem with many of us Americans is we form our opinions based on an exceptional blend of fake news and old black and white John Wayne movies.
Around here opinions are largely based on what’s in style on the bandwagon being ridden.
That joke goes back to at least the 1930's.We can get information from all sides and have freedom to discuss, agree, or disagree with Biden's policies in Ukraine if we want. In Russia it is illegal to oppose the invasion. No matter how bad the U.S. press is the Russian press is always worse.
I form my opinions on the basis of Spanish bullfighting and old Filipino black and white movies. I seem, however, to come to similar conclusions in re Russia.
